We must think things, not words.

An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.

He loves his country best who strives to make it best.

Forgive your enimies, but never foret their names.

We need men who can dream of things that never were.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

"The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal." Aristotle

Before the Battle of Thermopylae, a Spartan warrior named Dienekes was told that the Persian archers could blank out the sun with their arrows.
He replied "Good, then we shall have our battle in the shade."

When Leonidas was preparing to make his stand, a Persian envoy arrived. The envoy explained to Leonidas the futility of trying to resist the advance of the huge Persian army and demanded that the Spartans lay down their arms.
Leonidas told Xerxes "MOLON LABE",or "Come And Get Them."

Fortune favors the bold.
Virgil, Roman poet

Exclamation

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely in
an attractive and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, steak in one hand,
beer in the other, body thoroughly used up,
totally worn out and screaming:
'Damn, what a ride!'" -- Unknown

That is my favorite.

Others:

"Take chances. When rowing forward, the boat may rock." -Chinese Proverb

"Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly." -Robert H. Schuller

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." --Theodore Roosevelt

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." --Mark Twain

"Life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be." -- Grandma Moses

That's all I got for now!

bullfight critics ranked in rows, crowd the enormous plaza full, but only one is there who knows and he's the one that fights the bull -J.F.K
-Drew Longshore

man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with smelly fingers.....................

Always cheat, always win, the only unfair fight is the one you lose.

"He who stand on toilet is high on pot".

Kill one man and you're a murderer.
Kill many men and you're a conqueror.
but kill them all, and you're a god.

There are three groups of people:
1 Those who make things happen;
2 Those who watch things happen;
3 Those who wonder what's happening.

"Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young." - Arthur Wing Pinero, playwright



"The secret llies in how we handle today, not yesterday or tomorrow. Today...that special block of time holding the key that locks out yesterday's nightmares and unlocks tomorrow's dreams." - Charles Swindoll, Clergyman & writer

this is tattooed on my left forearm-

Dream like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

i also heard a quote similar to the last one listed by travelguy.

the story goes that an american battalion in Okinawa was being completely overrun by the Japanese. the group there knew that they were going to die and knew that the japanese had tapped into their communication lines. the last transmition form them was,
"Send more Japs."

now THATS bad ass.
